An analytical framework for atmospheric tides on rocky planets. I. Formulation
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Mohammad Farhat, Gwenaël Boué +1
Atmospheric thermal tides arise from the diurnal contrast in stellar irradiation. They exert a significant influence on the long-term rotational evolution of rocky planets because…

Anisotropic tidal dissipation in misaligned planetary systems
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Gwenaël Boué, Baptiste Loire
Tides are the main driving force behind the long-term evolution of planetary systems. The associated energy dissipation and momentum exchanges are commonly described by Love number…

Thermal tides on rocky planets through a novel fully analytical solution
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Mohammad Farhat, Gwenaël Boué +2
Thermal tides are atmospheric tides caused by variations in day-night insolation, similar to gravitational tides but with key differences. While both result in delayed mass redistr…
